3 Overview of BIOS Features
3.1 Introduction
The board uses Intel Visual BIOS that is stored in the Serial Peripheral Interface Flash Memory
(SPI Flash) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The SPI Flash contains the Visual
BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, LAN EEPROM information, and
Plug and Play support.
The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code. The
initial production BIOSs are identified as MYHSWi5v.86A.
The Visual BIOS Setup program can be used to view and change the BIOS settings for the
computer. The BIOS Setup program is accessed by pressing the <F2> key after the Power-On
Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins.
NOTE
The maintenance menu is displayed only when the board is in configure mode. Section 2.3 on
page 63 shows how to put the board in configure mode.
